• Make sure the wall coverings, countertop and
cabinets around the cooktop can withstand the heat
(up to 200
°
F) generated by the cooktop.
• Provide adequate clearances between cooktop and
adjacent combustible surfaces.
PROVIDE ADEQUATE
GAS SUPPLY
This cooktop is designed to operate on natural gas at 4"
of water column pressure. It is shipped from the factory
set for natural gas.
A convertible pressure regulator is connected in series
with the manifold of the cooktop and must remain in
series with the supply line regardless of whether natural
or L.P. gas is being used.
FOR PROPER OPERATION, THE MAXIMUM
INLET PRESSURE TO THE REGULATOR MUST
BE NO MORE THAN 14" OF WATER COLUMN
PRESSURE.
For checking the regulator, the inlet
pressure must be at least 1" (or 3.4 KPA) greater than
the regulator output setting. If the regulator is set for 4"
of water column pressure, the inlet pressure must be at
least 5". If the regulator is set for 10", the inlet pressure
must be at least 11".
The gas supply line to the cooktop should be 1/2" or
3/4" pipe.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions we strongly recommend against the use of
an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL
listed 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord
and that the current carrying rating of the cord in
amperes be equivalent to or greater than the branch
circuit rating. Such extension cords are obtainable
through your local appliance dealer.
IMPORTANT: (Please read carefully) FOR
PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
STOP!
An adequate electrical supply and outlet must be used
to operate the electrical parts of your cooktop.
1.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a three-prong (grounding) plug which must be
used with a properly grounded three-hole outlet
with a standard 120 Volt, 60 cycle AC household
current.
2.
If you do not have a three-hole grounded outlet,
have a qualified electrician change your old one.
3.
A grounding adaptor will be needed to convert the
old one until the outlet can be replaced. This method
is only temporary, and a qualified electrician should
test it to be sure it meets requirements.
Insure proper
ground and
firm connection
before use
L
N
WARNING:
Never reuse old flexible connectors.
The use of old flexible connectors can cause
gas leaks and personal injury. Always use new
flexible connectors when installing a gas appliance.
STOP!
3.
The regulator supplied with the unit must be in-
stalled in the gas supply line between the shut-off
valve and the unit connection. The top of the regu-
lator should face toward the cabinet front and easily
accessible through the cabinet doors.
4.
Install a manual shutoff valve in the gas line in an
easily accessible location outside the cooktop. Be
sure you know how and where to shut off the gas
supply to the cooktop.

5.
Check for leaks. After connecting cooktop to gas,
check system for leaks with a manometer. If a
manometer is not available, turn the gas supply on
to the cooktop and use a liquid leak detector at all
joints and connections to check for leaks.
Tighten all connections if necessary to prevent gas
leakage in the cooktop or supply line.
Check alignment of valves after connecting the cooktop
to the gas supply to be sure the manifold pipe has not
been moved. A misalignment could cause the valve
knob stem to rub on the control panel, resulting in a gas
leak at the valve.
DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR
LEAKS!
STOP!
Disconnect this cooktop and its individual
shutoff valve
from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures greater than 1/2" psig.
Isolate the cooktop
from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2" psig.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obli-
gation of the customer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
Do not under any circumstances cut or re-
move grounding prong from cooktop cord.
Failure to provide proper polarization may
create a hazardous condition.
STOP!
USAGE SITUATIONS WHERE APPLIANCE
POWER CORD WILL BE DISCONNECTED FRE-
QUENTLY.
For 15 amp circuit only.
Do not
use an adaptor on a 20
amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a
TEMPORARY
CONNECTION
may be made to a properly grounded
two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed
adaptor available at most hardware stores. The larger
slot in the adaptor must be aligned with the large slot in
the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the
connection of the power cord.
Insure proper ground and
firm connection before use
Temporary method
(Adaptor plugs not permitted
in Canada)
Align large
prongs/slots
CAUTION:
Attaching the adaptor ground
terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw
does not ground the appliance unless the
screw is metal, and not insulated, and the
wall receptacle is grounded through the housewiring.
The customer should have the circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.
STOP!
When disconnecting the power cord from the adaptor,
always hold the adaptor with one hand. If this is not done
the adaptor ground terminal is very likely to break with
repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground has again been estab-
lished.
Do not use an adaptor plug in these situations because
disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on
the adaptor and leads to eventual failure of the adaptor
ground terminal. The customer should have the two-
prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong
(grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before
using the appliance.
INSTALLING UNIT IN A
STANDARD OR TILE COUNTER
1.
Before installing the unit in the cutout, attach the
adhesive backed foam tape (shipped with unit). For
the Glass Cooktops attach the strip around the
